How to play Bowling
Choose a round of Bowling and settle into its rules. Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move. Keep the instructions close while learning this activity. Look at what changes after your first action.
Play ten frames using a two-dimensional bowling lane. Strikes, spares and bonus rolls count towards the total.
A useful comparison
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Complete ten frames and maximise the score. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Take a moment to understand the current position.
Step by step
- Set lane position and power.
- Roll into the rack.
- A strike ends a normal frame; otherwise roll again.
- The tenth can earn bonus rolls.
Controls
Lane-position/power sliders and Roll ball. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Check any mode label before starting.
A useful example
A strike followed by rolls of 4 and 5 makes the strike frame worth 19. An ordinary frame of 4 and 5 is worth 9. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.
Watch out for this
Bonus-dependent frames may not yet have a confirmed total. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
